Hi, I'm setting up for a phone interview that is soon, and I'm wondering what the NZ offices are like to work at nowadays. I'm particularly worries about woklife balance, i know to expect to be worked but I'm just looking to hear opinions from people that work there currently or recently.

Also what can I expect from a phone interview.

Throwaway account for now-- I'm an experienced professional who has spent the majority of my time in the hydrogen fueling industry. I love the sector, it's truly my passion, but unfortunately I've noticed a decrease in opportunities as there are delays in the US zero emission transition.

The world of space has fascinated me for awhile, and Rocket Lab even moreso. Though I'm fully employed now, I've been wondering if it's time for a complete fresh start into a new passion. I'd like advice on where I could potentially be a "good fit " given my background?

For reference, I graduated with a chemical engineering degree in 2013. I've worked in hydrogen fueling as a Continuous Improvement Lead and now Product Manager. I know that "starting from scratch" in a new industry will likely mean a pay cut, but I can accept that.

Thanks in advance for opinions and advice!

BlackSky has shipped its first Gen-3 satellite to Rocket Lab for a tentative launch in February from Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. The Gen-3 constellation will offer BlackSky's customers new mission-critical insights combined with very high-resolution, rapid-revisit 35-centimeter imagery and AI-enabled analytics delivered at industry-leading speed and scale.

Gold Mission Success coin went up in price by 1 cool million since last year.

That's a bit of a let down to be honest, though still a bargain even at 8.5M a piece.

If you had to design a kick stage for Neutron, what would you do with it?

Just curious. I understand that there's a huge difference between Electron and Neutron, in nearly every respect. However, after operating Neutron successfully for a year or two, might RL decide that a larger version would be more desirable- let's say 20KG to LEO vs. 13KG which is the current spec? Could they just make the same exact launch vehicle, but scale up everything by 50%? They would already have the proven infrastructure, avionics, procedures, etc. They would scale up all the physical items like engines, tanks, body, etc. Is this possible?

Hey! i’m doing a engineering panel interview in the next week for the Long Beach location with 5 engineers . Anyone been through the processes have any advice or words of wisdom they could bestow onto me. I’m a bit nervous for the interview.

Thanks

Very looking forward to this mission😀

As the MIT and RocketLab post on their websites that it will launch in January 2025, will it launch at planned date

Hello everyone!

I applied through linkedin and received an email regarding an interview with the Talent Acquisition team. Luckily, I was able to pass the interview. They then told me that the next interview will be with the hiring manager.

Here are my questions:

1. What should I expect during the 30-minute interview?
2. For anyone with RF product related job at Rocketlab, what are the typical technical questions thrown at you during your interview?
3. Is this the final step?
4. Will they sponsor my work VISA? Tho, I made it clear to the talent acquisition team that I'm from the Philippines and I don't have rights to work in New Zealand as of the moment.

The interview will be next week Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

Hoping for your positive feedback guys. Thank you!
